Some 60-70 percent of the conditions laid down by the CHP are agreeable, but the rest would make a coalition hard, according to the AKP members’ conclusion after the MYK meeting, daily Hrriyet reported.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutolu has called on all political parties to take a common stance for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to lay down arms only one day before a key meeting with the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) to conclude weeks of coalition talks.
About problems in the CHP-AK Party coalition talks, Bekaroglu said: “There is no problem in the process”.
He also urged the two parties to hold coalition negotiations “without behaving reluctantly or having imaginary discussions involving infertile standoffs”.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Monday met with the chief of the nation’s pro-secular get together to gauge whether or not they have sufficient widespread floor to press forward with efforts to type a coalition authorities, however they reached no settlement.
“We have agreed that there is no common ground for a partnership in a coalition government”, he said.
“The AKP and CHP represent Turkey’s two largest political parties and, as such, the country’s competing visions of Islamism and secularism”, wrote Soner Cagaptay, for the Washington Institute.
Davutoğlu said an early election is now a “strong possibility”, although he did not rule out talks with another opposition party, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
Earlier talks between the AK party and the CHP have lasted for 35 hours during five separate sessions until August 3.
If Erdogan issues the decision, the polling is expected in the first Sunday following a 90-day period starting from the end of the first deadline.
After mentioning that Turkey was going through “difficult times”, Bekaroglu said that instead of thinking about the interests of parties, the country needed to form a “big” coalition that would solve the country’s fundamental issues.
